At Times 03:23
Our saviour hasn’t found a cover Been observing the unrest Small array of hardened lovers They are the only ones left Out of bounds They’re rushing out of bounds Rushing out of bounds At times You don’t have to watch No, you don’t have to watch But you can only watch At times Always wanted to discover (a new level) Planning on (but not just yet) A dive in a pool of water (in August) It won’t happen quite like that (don’t forget) The other way around It’s the other way around Other way around At times You don’t have to cry No, you don’t have to cry You can only cry At times Pushing out of bounds At times

Sincere 02:41
Passion is still here, A feeling that will last now. Bells ring in this loft, Fear abandons the core of our house. Never in a million years you thought this: To remain fully sincere and like it To show it around,... Show it around. Difference is unreal, Even you were taken aback. Apparently they will listen, Taking notes straight to her heart. Never in a million years you thought this: To remain fully sincere and like it To show it around,... Show it around. You decide it is now time to show it around. Show it around,... Show it around. You decide it is now time to show it around.

Letting the end of an era created begin to fall. Leaving the pills and the sticks and the stones to the nationals. The fire is out; the spark is cold. Brightness ebbs, a shine is old. Dreams are back inside a box. Caught in rust; how tight the lock. And so I act, take center stage To tread the boards of a dark cage. As the puppet I pull the strings Knowing that illusion wins. Letting the end of an era created begin to fall. Leaving the pills and the sticks and the stones to the nationals. Letting the end of an era created begin to fall. Leaving the pills and the sticks and the stones to the nationals. The cover cracks its shallow skin. Days are tough and patience thin. Voices shivering; count to ten. It is between me and them. The unsaid words,.. They seem to slip. Etch my mind and not my script. Time melts away thin to bold; Yearn to be lost in its folds. Letting the end of an era created begin to fall. Leaving the pills and the sticks and the stones to the nationals. Letting the end of an era created begin to fall. Leaving the pills and the sticks and the stones to the nationals.

In Your Head 05:17
Grass is always greener That is what they say Always seem to crave What never comes our way We always wanna get What we can never touch Your idiotic musing Teases far too much Don't own the future Can't rewrite the past We only have now But that can never last I sleep while awake Missing what's been gone Hope smothers me Beguiled for far too long In your head Balanced on this tightrope Regardless, you’ll fall Stretched between worlds Scared to make the call Promise of a smile Temptation offers more When all you ought to do Is wake and close the door In your head I'm hiding in the marshes And you all think I’m square Struggling to resurface But you know where to find me In your head In your head In your head In your head In your head In your head In your head In your head

Won’t fit, won’t stop, won’t quit, won’t drop,... Girl, thanks a lot. I used to date the coolest chicks in town And drink a beer when no one was around. Get up and ready to the count of three,… I wondered why you weren’t lookin’ at me. I found no punk here, where was I to look? Walkin’ alone to Goodwill buyin’ books? Went to the movies just to kill some time, I knew for sure that one day you’ll be mine. Won’t fit, won’t stop, won’t quit, won’t drop,... Girl, thanks a lot. One day you will be mine! There was a brawl at the saloon last night But we went cruisin’ and stayed out of sight. Kicked ass on Pac-Man while the radio played, Didn’t worry much if I got home at eight. We’re gonna practice at my house tonite, We do the hits but we don’t sound so tight. The same old bass guitar will do the trick Just as long as we all get a kick. Won’t fit, won’t stop, won’t quit, won’t drop,... Girl, thanks a lot. One day you will be mine!

Influencer 03:32
Haven't done a lot today, Didn't go to work: you only played. Staying coupled with the screen You'll become a man/machine. So when you're grown up you can be An influencer. And you can post another stream: It's influential. Get out of this misery. All those clicks and like you see Don't mean anything to me. It's quality, not quantity. And if you keep it up you'll feel An influencer. So you'll be led up to believe You're influential. So when you're grown up you can be An influencer. And you can post another stream: It's influential. It's influential. What are you showing today? Many channels in dismay,... I don't think that I can stay As watching this makes me complaint. And you can post another stream: It's influential.

Colors of a friendship turns to neon Now she might need a shoulder to lean on Not a single hint predicted us near Have to thank my pal to let us stay here Lookin’ in each other’s eyes Ask yourself why our time flies Floating on his water bed Can’t believe the words you said Laying there just holding hands Why do we have to pretend? Wallowing in useless pride Lookin’ out for other signs Follow the ride Follow the ride Follow the ride Have to thank my friend to let us stay here Not a single hint predicted us near Now she might need a shoulder to lean on Colors of a friendship turns to neon Won’t remember what you said Hanging in a lover’s nest Looking at the others Pictures and a lullaby Laying there just holding hands Why do we have to pretend? Wallowing in useless pride Lookin’ out for other signs Follow the ride Follow the ride Follow the ride You gotta follow the ride Follow the ride You gotta follow the ride Follow Follow the ride Follow the ride

Bandages 04:05
When the animals weren't dying You had all the tears to cry. When the animals weren't dying You had all the tears to cry. When the animals weren't dying You had all the tears to cry. When the animals weren't dying You had all the tears to cry. Bandages, bandages, bandages, bandages,... Why you done this? Why you done this? Why you done this? Why you done this? Why? Why? Why? Why?

You and me again exploring depths of hell. Underground the waters appearing down the well. Deep up to my chin,
...Look at the mess we’re in. Rivers flowing fast
 searching through our past. Hold our breath, prepare to drown
 As the current pulls us down. Flailing now, we’re out of time,…
 Waiting for the absent line. You and me again swim inside that hole. Pass me on the bank,
 suffocate some more. Head is circling now,…
Watch me trying to cope. Water passing through;
 here’s to a new you. Droplets fill my eyes, I wink
 While the depths embrace my skin. I just crave your steady touch 
Even though I ask too much. You and me again running out of there. No location found: it could be anywhere. Steady insolence to never replicate. Nothing left to save but sparkles in the cave.
